i) General Description

and Justification

Introduction:

The scheme is initiated by the Mines & Minerals Department, Govt.

of the Punjab for prospecting and evaluating the potential of economic a.

Energy, b. Industrial, c. Metallic Minerals Resources in Districts, Dera

Ghazi Khan & Rajan Pur (herein after called scheme area). A brief

description of the existence of different minerals on the basis of past

geological studies, available information on the exploration, prospecting

and mining activities in the above Districts are discussed in the instant PC-

II to give an understanding of the importance and need for further

exploration & exploitation of these mineral resources in untapped areas. In

order to create investment opportunities and promote the potential of

mineral resources, a comprehensive scheme is initiated through Annual

Development Program (ADP 2021-24). Mainly, the Scope of Work

involved would be reconnaissance survey, geological mapping,

geophysical surveys, drilling and related exploration techniques including

adits, pitting, trenching, etc. using necessary machinery and equipment to

achieve the objective of the scheme.

(ii) Background

Description &

Justification:

According to the available past studies, information, geological

descriptions and mineral production from the scheme areas, it is believed

that these areas contained energy, industrial and metallic mineral

resources. Amongst, the main resources are Coal, Iron Ore, Gypsum,

Dolomite, Fuller earth, Bentonite, Silica Sand and limestone etc.

Exploration and mining activities of different minerals is going on by Pvt.

of 33

and partially Public Sector through the licenses and leases granted by the

Mines & Minerals Department under Punjab Mining Concessions Rules

2002. A topo geological map of Suleman Range falling in Dera Ghazi

Khan & Rajan Pur areas are attached as "Annex-A". Adjoining to the

existing concessions (applied & granted), there are untapped areas which

can be explored to establish the existence of similar mineral deposits.

Therefore, through this ADP scheme, un-granted accessible areas in the

Suleman Range falling in Districts Dera Ghazi Khan and Rajan Pur are

proposed to be explored to evaluate the mineral potential so that these can

be put to open auction for investment and development of the mineral

resources to earn revenue for the Government and business/employment

opportunities in general.

Objective: The objective is to undertake exploration & exploitation of

the mineral resources in untapped far-flung remote hilly terrains and plains

of the scheme area, where the private sector is shy enough to come

forward for exploration risk. Continuity of the geological and stratigraphic

successions of the rocks evident that the mineralization may continue in

these similar adjoining areas of which the real economic potential is yet to

be established. On evaluation of the mineral resources, potential blocks

would be carved out and put to open auction under the Punjab Mining

Concession Rules, 2002. This will attract the investors giving a confidence

for further resource estimation, mine planning and production.

A brief introduction to the existing geological and mineral description

within Suleman Range is given below:-

Suleman Range:

This mountainous range is mainly exposed in the South West of

Punjab in Dera Ghazi Khan & Rajan Pur Districts, comprising sedimentary

sequence of rocks present throughout from where a number of minerals are

being commercially extracted through various concessions granted under

the Punjab Mining Concession Rules, 2002. However, the continuity of

different minerals in the areas other than granted under concessions are yet

to be explored.

of 33

The available information on the basis of past geological works and

the concessions etc. granted in the scheme area is attached as “Annex-

B1”. An exercise by Punjab Economic Research Institute (PERI) has also

been under taken to support the background knowledge about the scheme

areas. According to PERI, the analysis of mineral reserves in Koh-e-

Suleman Range at District Dera Ghazi Khan & Rajanpur and list of the

publications, provided which is as such attached at Annexure-B2.

a) Strategy to

handle and

carryout the

mineral

exploration work

program

There is a need to explore promising mineral bearing areas in a scientific

and systematic manner. Mines & Minerals Department as a part of its

mandate is striving hard to identify the mineral resources to structure the

mineral sector as a vibrant and potential sector to attract the domestic and

international investors. The present PC-II is a practical step towards the

achievement of this objective.

(i) Requirements of the Project and planning of the sponsoring

agency:

To handle and carryout the minerals prospecting/ exploration, a

systematic and geo-scientific approach is essential which needs an

adequate team of geologists, mineral exploration tools, machinery,

geological survey equipment, drilling rigs, mineral testing labs and

pitting/trenching digging instruments etc. Besides, transport/vehicles,

boarding, lodging and routine office commodities both at project sites and

headquarter office, Lahore are inevitable. Procurement of all these

logistics, require a substantial budget & time consumption and is not in

line with the policy of the government to involve spending of huge

amounts in billion rupees on the purchase and maintenance of such high

cost gadgets, human resource, machinery and equipments. The most cost

effective and efficient approach is to outsource the execution of above

mentioned exploration and prospecting activities through competitive

bidding process.

For prospecting and exploration of mineral resources, the technical

activities involved can be as under:

Reconnaissance Survey

of 33

Geological Survey/Mapping

Geophysical Survey

Shallow confirmatory drilling

Pitting, trenching, adits

Assays (Lab testing)

Digitization/Geo-referencing of the entire data using remote sensing

images & GIS Analysis.

The present organizational structure of the Directorate General of

Mines & Minerals, particularly, the mineral prospecting/ exploration

human resource is not well established and facilitated because huge

financial resources are involved. Therefore, such specialized nature of

exploration/prospecting projects are better to be out sourced. However, all

managerial, geological coordination, work plans, data handling and results

oriented completion of the ADP scheme would be taken up by the

available human resource of Resource Mapping Division attached with

this project. The project team (from the Resource Mapping Division,

RMD) will be deputed to monitor the scheme execution.

(ii) Work Plan Strategy

The most efficient and fast track route to undertake and complete

such projects, the Scope of Work (SOW) under this ADP scheme will be

executed through outsourcing by engagement of Consultant and having

relevant technical capability and machinery/equipment arrangements to

perform the Scope of Work. Procurement of these services would be

carried out as per provisions of the relevant rules (PPRA) and procedures

in vogue. For administrative and technical controls, a steering committee

would be notified by the Government to ensure the executional

management and achievement of the objective of the scheme. Following

members for the steering committee are proposed:-

(i) Secretary, MMD, Punjab, Chairman

(ii) Director General, M&M, Punjab Member

(iii) Director, (RMD)/Project Director Member

(iv) Deputy Secretary, (Technical) Member

(v) Director, Inst. of Geology (PU, LHR) Member

or his Rep. not less than BS-19

(vi) Rep./a senior geologist from GSP Member

not less than BS-18.

of 33

b) Authorization of

Payments

(vii) Project Coordinator Member

(viii) Project Manager Member

Note: a) Chairman, DG M&M, Project Director, Project

Manager/Coordinator and Rep. of GSP will be the

mandatory members constituting the quorum of the steering

committee.

b) Chairman of the Steering Committee would have the

authority to opt. any additional expert as member of the

committee.

The TORs for the Steering Committee are as follows: -

Steering Committee will steer execution of the overall project

components including ongoing results interpretation, progress

reviews.

To evaluate and certify the executional activities of SOW.

Due diligence on any modification in the SOW without

compromising the overall objective of the scheme.

To approve the interim, draft and final reports etc. as required in

the agreements with the Consultant and Contractor.

Whereas, day to day handling, support management and

monitoring of executional works will be carried out by the Project

Manager, Project Coordinator and its associated team reporting to the

Project Director. The entire project activities will be well managed and

coordinated through the Project team. All the Project Team will be deputed

and arranged from amongst the officers of Resource Mapping Division

based at Hqr’s office, Lahore.

The payments to the Consultant are to be approved by the steering

committee as mentioned above. However, the routine monitoring,

logistics, transport, fuel, T.A/D.A and others/miscellaneous expenses will

be approved by the Project Director from the budgetary provisions

provided in the respective heads of the account.

5) Scope of Work In order to achieve the objective of the ADP scheme, the roles of

the execution agency, Consultant are very important to define at their

respective positions.

The information and record of the available exploration/

prospecting, mining, production etc. of the minerals under different

concessions shown on a consolidated GIS based map will be prepared by

of 33

the Licensing and GIS Divisions of the Directorate General of Mines &

Minerals.

The Resource Mapping Division as per decisions of the Steering

Committee would be strategizing the work plans, monitoring the

execution, results orientation achievements, payments processing and

completion of the scheme.

Whereas, the Consultant will have their respective responsibilities

to execute the Scope of Work of the scheme which is summarily described

below:-

Scope of Work for the Consultant

8) Manpower

requirement and

execution plan

To handle the supervisory and monitoring activities on day to day basis by

the Client, services of the requisite technical officers would be avail from

the Resource Mapping Division and essential supporting staff would be

availed from the existing strength of the DGMM office.

Operational Mechanisms:-

The areas under study in this ADP scheme, consist of vast hilly terrains

and plains. Therefore, the office of the Deputy Director, Mines &

Minerals, Dera Ghazi Khan would be used as the project office. The

Deputy Manager (Mineral Data Geo-chemistry), RM Division, Mines &

Minerals headquarter office would be notified as Project Manager.

However, the expenses and requirements for monitoring, inspections of the

field activities, travelling, camping/boarding-lodging, rental 4×4 vehicle(s)

etc. will be met from the cost of the scheme. Since, the Steering

Committee Members from different tiers of the Mines & Minerals

Department would be based at Lahore, therefore, the office of the Director

Resource Mapping Division of DGMM office Lahore would be

coordinating the implementation of the SOW to update the Government

and the high ups from time to time.

9) Vehicles/Transport

Requirements

For monitoring of the field works and project coordination activities on

day to day basis by the project related officers and staff etc., the vehicles

from the existing offices would be preferably utilized. However, the POL

charges will be drawn from the cost of the scheme as there is always

shortage of POL routine budgets. However, in case of non-availability the

vehicles, the same may also be availed on rental basis with the approval of

the Project Director. All project related staff will draw TA/DA from the

cost of the scheme. This alternate arrangement is inevitable because most

of the times Government vehicles are not adequately available due to other

official duties, therefore, the Project activities requiring it's own

monitoring to follow the objective, quality and time lines, physical

monitoring should not be suffered.

10) Year wise estimated

cost

Keeping in view the budget provisions of the current year and forecasting

the expenditures in the years 2022-23 and 2023-24, the year wise

of 33

estimated costs are as follows:-

Summary of the breakup of cost estimates are given at Annex-D.

Consultant's man months and breakup of it's work and services along with

unit costs where existed is given at Annex-E. Activity wise details are

given at Annex-F. Deliverables and timelines are given at Annex-G.

11) Financial Plan Source of funding includes domestic source. No foreign component is

included in the cost. Main expenditures, incurred under the scheme would

be met out of the allocated budget. Entire allocated amount shall be

utilized under the sub heads of revenue and as provided under the law.

Following would be the main expenditure centers:-

Major amount (Rs.174.20 million) is proposed to be incurred for

the payments to others for services to be rendered. (Services i.e.,

Consultancy, Geo-Physical & Geological Surveys, Pitting,

Trenching & Drilling, Lab Testing/Assays, report writing.

Rented vehicles where required by the Officers/Staff of the

Executing Agency and for the far flung hilly terrains where routine

transport/vehicle may not be useful).

A minor amount of Rs.5.80 million is proposed to be incurred on

advertisement (in case), Purchase of IT Equipment (Two Laptops,

One Color Printer and One Scanner), POL, TA/DA and others

expenses for the effective and close monitoring of the project

activities by the executing agency and to achieve the objective of

the ADP scheme.

12) Expected outcomes

of the survey study

and details of the

Project likely to be

submitted after the

survey.

Exploration/prospecting of the scheme areas would result in evaluating

the economic potential and probable mineral resources in the Dera

Ghazi Khan& Rajan Pur Districts. Economically viable blocks will be

carved out over the areas where the mineral prospects are evaluated and

would be offered to the intending investors through competitive

bidding process for the grant of mining leases under the Punjab Mining

of 33

Concession Rules, 2002. Through this bidding process, a handsome

revenue may be generated for the Government Exchequer along with

regular receipt of royalty on the produced and dispatched minerals. On

the other hand numerous employment opportunities in the far flung

neglected areas of South Punjab creating economic activity of

production of mineral resources will be created to feed and meet the

domestic mineral based industries. There are also bright prospects of

the export of raw minerals, ores and valuable mineral products through

the CPEC road/route adjoining to the South Punjab. Hence, the scheme

would be a contribution to develop the mineral wealth in the South

Punjab and an overall growth of GDP.

AVAILABLE INFORMATION ABOUT THE MINERAL RESOURCES IN

DERA GHAZI KHAN & RAJAN PUR AREAS

In the South Western part of the Punjab Province, a sedimentary sequence of

Suleman Range is exposed in Dera Ghazi Khan& Rajan Pur Districts, from where certain

industrial minerals are being commercially extracted. The potential of coal and iron ore in

this Range is yet to be established; besides other important industrial minerals like gypsum,

dolomite, limestone, Fuller earth, silica sand, fireclay, barite etc.

1. Coal: Previous work undertaken by the Geological Survey of Pakistan (GPS)

indicates presence of coal / carbonaceous shales in the Domanda Formation and Drazinda

Formation of Eocene age, in DG Khan district. Indication of coal has also been reported from

the Chiterwata Formation, of Oligocene age, in the same district of DG Khan. Coal seam in a

mine near Rakhi Munh Hills was studied by the Geological Survey of Pakistan and a coal

seam of 0.33 to 0.41 meters thick was touched. Similarly another coal seam of 0.2 to 0.3

meters thick has also been reported in the same Domanda Formation near the localities of

Kahhan BMP Post, Zain BMP post and Mahoi Nallah areas. Presence of coal seam having

thickness of 0.76 meter has also been reported by GSP in the Chiterwata Formation of

Oligocene age near the Khador, BMP post. However presence of carbonaceous shales are

also reported in the Drazinda Shales of Eocene age near village Haftgarh.

Following is the summary of coal occurrences in D.G. Khan& Rajan Pur.

2. Iron Ore

Economic deposits of iron ore with sedimentary nature have been reported in the

RakhiMunh Hills, district D.G. Khan. Iron ore deposits of Rakhi Munh are relatively

of low grade and found along the linear belt near Fort Manroo which is stretching

along north south direction having length of about 25 km, district DG Khan. The ore

body mainly consists of limonite, siderite and chemosite etc.

RAKHIMUNH, DG KHAN IRON ORE DEPOSITS

These deposits are located two kilometers west of RakhiMunh Hills, which is about 53

kilometers west of D.G. Khan. These deposits are of Eocene-Oligocene age.

The iron occurs as banded iron ore and is exposed in the foothills of the Rakhi Munh

area. The overlying beds are ferruginous shales. The Rakhi Munh iron ore deposits

of 33

constitute a single sedimentary iron ore bed commonly called Rakhi MunhIron Ore

Bed which marks the unconformable boundary between the Eocene and Oligocene

strata dipping at 600 to 700 and almost vertical at places. The iron ore bed is traceable

persistently, with varying thickness and grade, for a stretch of 25 kms from Choti Nai

area in the south to Shadan Nala Valley in the north. Thickness of the bed varies from

30 to 65 cms. On the northern and southern extremes and upto 1.85 meters in the

middle part forming a lenticular pattern.

The constituent minerals include limonite, goethite and siderite. Average grade is 32-

34% Fe2O3. Estimated resources are 268.3 million tons.

3. Fuller Earth.

Fuller earth is a non-plastic clay or clay like material, usually high in magnesia that

has adequate decolorizing and purifying properties. It can be used as

decolorizing/bleaching agent. It is mainly used in oil industry and in foundries. The

districts of D.G. Khan& Rajan Pur in the Punjab Province is the prominent area

where extensive deposits have been known to occur. It is formed along the flood

plains of ancient river channels. The Paleocene Eocene Rocks which had been

deposited with coal in Punjab contained Fuller earth in the adjoining areas. With

activation of this clay, it may be used for purification of vegetable oil and ghee

industry. It is also being used in making insecticide. It is also an excellent binding

agent for different minerals in foundries and steel industries. An exploration study can

be carried out to quantify the potential and continuity of Fuller earth deposits in the

Suleman Range, South Punjab.

of 33

4. Gypsum

Gypsum, known to mankind since its earliest days, is the most common calcium

sulphate mineral (Ca2SO4.2H2O). Its composition ranges upto 75% calcium sulfate

and 21% water. It is mainly used as a raw material for Cement, some fertilizer and

plaster of Paris etc. Extensive work is required for evaluation of its proved deposits

and determining the process of its value addition. The Suleman Range have been

bestowed with the extensive deposits of Gypsum in the province of Punjab.

In view of the above, it will be appropriate to undertake reconnaissance, Geophysical

exploration if necessary and prospection activities for these minerals under the instant

scheme corresponding to the Suleman Range falling in Districts Dera Ghazi khan&

Rajan Pur.

5. Limestone

The term limestone includes those rocks which contain more than 50% mineral calcite

(Ca CO3) and dolomite (Ca Mg CO3)2. Limestone deposits are extensively formed on

continental shelves as detrital, biogenic or chemical precipitates.

Limestone is extensively used as concrete aggregates and gravel after crushing. It is

also the basic raw material for Portland cements. Limestone is also used as the fluxing

agent, soil conditioner, source of lime, chemical raw material and as dimension stone.

Variegated, in exhaustible deposits of limestone are found in Suleman Range, most of

which are being used in different projects. Detailed study for evaluation and value

addition products is required.

6. Silica Sand/Glass Sand.

Quartz Sand, free of impurities, is used as silica sand or glass sand. Areas falling in the

D.G. Khan& Rajan Pur Districts comprise of different qualities of Silica Sand. Coarse

grained silica sand is used as abrasive material and in the manufacture of glass and

some chemicals. It is also used in re-factory and metallurgical applications. The

foundry requirements are met with molding sand (rounded grains) found in various

parts of the Punjab Province, particularly in the Suleman Range. Locally produced

glass/Silica Sand is used for making sheet glass and bottles. Extensive work is required

to determine its potential deposits.

7. Any Other Mineral.

Any other economic minerals are included in this PC-II as is to be explored during

execution of the Scope of Work.

ANNEXURE-B2

ANALYSIS OF MINERAL RESERVES IN KOH-E-SULEMAN AT

DISTRICTS D. G. KHAN AND RAJANPUR BY PERI, P&D BOARD,

GOVERNMENT OF THE PUNJAB

(Source: Policy Paper Unveiling the Mineral Reserves in Punjab: A case of Attock, D.G.Khan, and Rajanpur by Punjab

Economic Research Institute, PERI 2020-02)

This part provides content analysis, based on previous studies to confirm the existence

of coal, barite, iron ore, gypsum, fuller earth, and limestone in the Koh-e-Suleman at Districts

of D. G. Khan and Rajanpur. The results of the content analysis and available literature

provided evidence of the existence of the above mentioned potential mineral deposits in the

Districts of D. G. Khan and Rajanpur as depicted in table 4. However, the available literature

does not support the existence of Barite in the region of the Southern Punjab.

To support the content analysis, a more thematic approach is used to provide the

arguments in favor of the existence of potential mineral deposits in these regions. (Shah,

2018) studied and explicated the strategies for mineral sector development in Pakistan. In this

exploratory study, several secondary sources like the GSP and the Small and Medium

Development Authority (SMEDA) were reviewed.

The study explicitly suggested the existence of gypsum in several areas of the Punjab.

It was added that gypsum reserves can be found in the regions of D. G. Khan, Mianwali,

Rohri, Kohat, Sibi, and Quetta. This study also discussed the existence of other potential

minerals like coal and iron ore, yet, it remained silent on the exact placement of minerals near

the Districts of D. G. Khan and Rajanpur.

Similarly, Alyani and Malkani (2018) conducted a study that highlighted the existence

of iron ore and limestone in the districts of D. G. Khan and Rajanpur and provided the

preliminary status of the formations. Furthermore, it confirmed the existence of limestone,

mudstone, sandstone, red muds at Fort Munro, and Rakhi Gaj while shale, rubbly limestone,

gypsum, and others at Sakhi Sarwar in the D. G. Khan. Additionally, it claimed the presence

of economic mineral commodities including fuller earth and other cement raw materials in

these formations.

of 33

According to a study by Mahmood et al. (2017), minerals in varied geographical

formations were found in the Southern Punjab and the Northern Punjab. In this study, several

prospecting tools like lithology, structure, paleobiogeography, revised stratigraphy, geo-

dynamics/ tectonics, geological history, and paleontology were used to observe the presence

of minerals in these areas. Several coal formations including fireclay, iron ore (Rakhi Munh),

silica sand, shale, fuller earth, limestone, gypsum (2 billion tons in the Rajanpur and 9 billion

tons in the D. G. Khan), and cement raw materials were found in the Districts of D. G. Khan

and Rajanpur alongside celestite deposits, heavy mineral placer deposits, and bentonite in the

Suleman fold belt.

Similarly, in another study conducted by Malkani et al. (2016), several geographic

formations were observed to ensure and update the status of minerals in Pakistan. For this

study, several field visits were conducted to make new discoveries along with the

consultation with the previous work done. Furthermore, preliminary prospecting tools were

used to determine the existence of these minerals in these regions. The results suggested the

presence of fuller earth, iron ore, fire clay, silica sand, and cement raw material (Shale,

gypsum, and limestone) in the areas of Rajanpur and D. G. Khan.

In another study by Malkani and Shah (2014), the formation of Chamalang coal fields

was discussed. Additionally, preliminary prospecting techniques like stratigraphy and general

geology techniques were used to ensure the existence of several minerals in these formations.

The study suggested that the presence of coal, limestone, gypsum, sandstone, marl, and shale

in Chamalang coal fields (Middle Indus Suleman range).

Gondal, Ahsan, and Javid (2008) also studied Sakhi Sarwar and Rajanpur aggregates

by using geotechnical and petro-graphical techniques. The results of the study confirmed the

presence of limestone, sandstone, and gypsum at Sakhi Sarwar, Girdu, Pitok Nullah, Zungi

Nullah, Khalgari, and Kaha Nullahs in the Southern Punjab.

Hassan, Bhatti, Bhutta, and Abbas (2001) argued that several mineral resources like

gypsum, fuller’s earth, barite, iron ore, coal, and limestone etc. can be found in several

regions and formations of D. G. Khan. This report highlights the existence of these mineral

deposits in the areas like Zinda Pir, Safed Koh, Taunsa, Vidor, Rakhi Munh, Rodho, Sanghar,

Dalana, Rakhi Gaj, Baghal Chur, Dagar, Nangar Nai, and Fort Munro etc.

of 33

According to findings, several gypsum reserves were identified along with the

potential reserves. Moreover, samples from the Dungan formation and the Ghazij shale

provided evidence of the existence of limestone and coal in the region as well. It was also

submitted that with the average dip depth of 50 feet in eastern and western flanks of Zinda Pir

and in Rakhi Munh, the gypsum reserve estimates can make up to 27, 12, and 27 million tons

respectively. Finally, the authors recommended an open-pit technique for mining. Even

though this study is quite comprehensive, however, it was conducted in 1970 while using

obsolete methods. This feasibility report and reserve estimation figures are questionable due

to the use of outdated approaches and a long-time lag.

In another study by Shah (2002), lithostratigraphic units of the Sulaiman and Kirthar

were identified along with the existence of potential minerals. This study classified these

regions in different formations which were classified as per the era, period, epoch, and age of

the formation. This study identified the presence of celestite, limestone (of various colors, and

type), claystone, siltstone, sandstone, shales, coal, marl, and gypsum in these formations. So,

to have a better idea about the reserve estimates in the region, it would be imperative to

conduct such a study, while using the latest technology available in the region.

1) BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE

Mines & Minerals Department, Govt. of the Punjab has one of the mandates to explore and

evaluate the mineral resources of the province. It has recently, undertook detailed exploration

program for coal in the Salt Range/Trans Indus Range and Iron ore in Chiniot - Rajoa and adjoining

areas at International Standards through renowned International Consulting and Consultant firms.

Suleman Range falling in Districts Dera Ghazi Khan& Rajan Pur have a variety of Industrial,

metallic and energy minerals including Gypsum, Dolomite, Fuller Earth, Silica Sand, Limestone, Iron

ore and Coal, besides other minerals of economic potential. Different minerals and areas are already

granted to the private and public sector entities for exploration and mining, but the pace of

development of these important mineral commodities is not according to the real potential of the

minerals. There are areas which are still untapped and the private sector is shy enough to invest in it.

As a result of that, the mineral production growth is very slow.

As part of the mandate of the Mines & Minerals Department, Government of the Punjab is

desirous to evaluate the hidden mineral potential of those areas which have not so far been granted

under the mineral concessions so that after determination of these mineral bearing areas, they may be

presented for grant of concessions through competitive bidding process and bring investment and

economic opportunities in the remote and far flung areas of districts Dera Ghazi Khan& Rajan Pur
